Bra blocks bullet, saves Detroit woman's life
Santiago Esparza / The Detroit News
Detroit -- The Wonder Bra may have met its match.
A 57-year-old woman is alive today because her bra stopped a bullet from killing her Tuesday when men breaking into a neighbor's home shot her, Detroit police said.
The woman lives on Huntington Street near Outer Drive on the city's west side. She saw male teenagers breaking into her neighbor's house Tuesday morning and when they saw her, one of them fired a shot, police said.
Police said the underwire of the bra deflected the bullet, but that the woman was injured. She was taken to an area hospital, but released by the afternoon, according to WWJ-AM (950). Police said the injury was not life-threatening.
" Isn't that amazing," Detroit Police Sgt. Eren Stephens Bell said of the deflection. "We need to get some bullet-proof vests made from that. It is some strong wire."
The suspects, all African-Americans 16-18 years old, drove off in a burgundy Neon without hubcaps, according to WWJ.
